The Neuron client and Neuron service\nare written using the .NET framework with some codebase overlaps. The Neuron client is used\nto infect victim endpoints and extract sensitive information from local client machines. The\nNeuron server is used to infect network infrastructure such as mail and web servers, and acts\nas local Command \u0026 Control (C2) for the client component. Establishing a local C2 limits\ninteraction with the target network and remote hosts. It also reduces the log footprint of actor\ninfrastructure and enables client interaction to appear more convincing as the traffic is\ncontained within the target network.\nInformation\nMalpedia Last
